In the last 4 months, Trump's secret police fired on at least nine people in five states and D.C., all while in their vehicles. In each case, DHS claimed, falsely, that the agents fired in self-defense, fearing they’d be struck by the vehicle. At least one other victim died.

Tonight, I was one of more than 200 people who gathered on Chicago’s North Side to mourn Renee Nicole Good. Several people asked me to publish my remarks from the vigil, so I’m sharing them here.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

a small real thing you can do right now. Bree’s squad just sent 200 of these to my stepmom for the anti-ICE ministry at our church. you can chip in for materials and supplies at the links below
Someone who is more organized than me put them on a linktree, with our GFM that covers shipping & supplies. (And when we have too much money in there, we send it to folks in cities who need stuff immediately, like we did today!)

Every time in the last year I’ve felt close to true despair I have gone to a protest or seen people like this who show that Americans actually can be remotely as brave as we tell ourselves we are, and our enemies are violent and stupid and evil but they are also absolute cowards.
Live updates: Around 200 people marched more than two miles from the scene of the shooting to Minneapolis City Hall, shouting “ICE out now!” after police hurried away from the scene Wednesday afternoon.

The crowd of is continuing to snake its way through downtown.
Live: ICE agent shoots, kills woman in Minneapolis
Video of the shooting shows an agent firing at a vehicle as it drives toward him. The governor and Minneapolis mayor called for calm after the incident. ICE said the agent acted defensively.

If a guy with one of the most visible media jobs in American life can put his name on a statement like this, we all can do a little more. And we should.

Yeah I'm not mad because I think they have some institutional levers they can pull to fix this.

I'm mad that they are still talking like institutional levers are sufficient to fix this.
I am in some ways slightly more sympathetic than most to elected Dems right now as people scream Do Something at them, because there really, truly is not all that much they have the power to do at the moment besides yell

but if all you can do is yell, the yelling has to be higher quality

Republicans let ACA tax credits expire and now healthcare costs are doubling for over 22 million Americans. House Democrats and a few Republicans are forcing a vote to undo this before millions lose health coverage, but your GOP representative needs to hear from you ASAP. indivisible.org/reso...
